Topic: The Raven
I've been lurking around here for a few weeks, so I finally decided to do something.
This isn't technically a release, since I've had this completed and posted on Youtube for about two months, but I don't know what else it would be considered in this thread. Or feed. Or topic. Or whatever this thing is called. (I'm new to this stuff.)
I guess it could be considered a release to this site as opposed to a 'releasion' to something else.
The main this is that I made this film (or poor excuse of one) for a project for my Honors Junior English class. We were supposed to do something that had some relation to romanticism. What with studying romanticism, we went over this poem (for like a week), so I thought it would be fun to make a LEGO film adaptation. I realise that I don't have much action going on, but some stanzas of the poem don't have any physical action. Like the guy thinking 'Hmm, where did this bird come from?'
The switching colours can also get annoying, but I wanted to try and see if that worked.
As what usually happens to my films, I like them when I put them to-gether, and a few hours after that I realise all of the errors in it and how I could make it better, then I hate it and wish it would die. Which, then that doesn't make much sense as to why I'm posting it here, but that goes back to me just lurking around and not doing anything worthwhile.
Since completing this (in November) I changed my walk-cycle as well. I realised that suddenly the leg that was behind the minifig is now in front with no travel in between the two extremes. So I've have fixed that in later projects. It worked well enough for this one.
I could keep mentioning things that I did poorly about it, or I could just shut up and post the link. Besides, if I point out everything, no one would reply to this anyway. That would also make this longer and longer and it's longer than the norm now anyway.
